Binance ‘to Support’ the Airdrop

Binance is yet to issue an official statement that it will support the airdrop, but its CEO, Changpeng Zhao, suggested that it is only natural for the exchange to support it. He made the statement when replying to a tweet asking him if the exchange would support that future BTT airdrop. His response and tweet can be found below.

yes, we support it. It’s not hard to answer, it’s just I don’t get to see all the @ me messages, even with as much time as I do spend on Twitter now.

More on the BitTorrent Token of BTT

The token will be a TRC10 token on the Tron blockchain and is meant to propel the file sharing economy on BitTorrent. BTT will be a general purpose mechanism for transacting in computer resources on the BitTorrent network. It will also be divisible to allow for low value transactions to still operate.

BitTorrent Inc. will also deploy an ‘on-chain/off-chain exchange’ to allow for the easy transfer of the tokens between a high performance private ledger and the public TRON Blockchain. More on how the BTT token will work can be found in the project’s whitepaper.
